Indrakaran wants courts to work for longer hours to help common man

Emphasizing the need for encouraging courts to function during morning, evening sessions and holidays for providing speedy justice to common man by spontaneous clearance of pending cases, Telangana Law Minister A Indrakaran Reddy today vouched for setting up of commercial courts.

Indrakaran Reddy represented the Telangana State at a national conference of all Chief Ministers and Judges of High Courts addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Supreme Court Chief Justice T S Thakur at Vignan Bhavan in New Delhi on Sunday. The conference was shell- shocked to witness CJI in tears blaming inaction of executive and government to increase number of judges to 40,000 from 21,000 to clear “avalanche” of cases being thrown on the judiciary.
